Chapter 168 A noble mage who is good at changing the environment!
Because the road ahead is destroyed and there are various roadblocks blocking the way.
The marching speed of the Cavalry Legion of the Kingdom of Crean has been slightly affected.
However, although the marching speed at this time was slightly slower than at the beginning, it was definitely faster than the infantry regiment of the Kaya Empire.
According to the current speed, catching up with the enemy at noon, which was originally expected, may now be postponed to the afternoon.
But after all, the difference is only a few hours, so it’s not a big problem.
While the senior officials were thinking about the various details of the subsequent battle, the troops in front slowly stopped.
Soon a soldier riding a war horse approached and said loudly:
"There are special roadblocks blocking the road ahead."
When the soldiers were wondering what kind of special roadblocks could When they stagnate.
The higher-ups of the legion who came to the front saw neat and densely packed rock spikes about half a man high!
——There is no doubt that this is a terrain created by some kind of magic!
——There may be a noble mage opposite who is good at changing the environment and setting up obstacles!
After briefly testing the hardness of these rock spikes and discovering that their hardness was extraordinary, the brows of the Legion's top brass frowned slightly unconsciously.
Things are a bit troublesome.
This road is the nearest road. If you take a detour, the time to catch up with the enemy will be further delayed!
After a while of discussion, in order not to affect the marching speed, they decided:
Let the top brass of the legion open the way!
Next, the senior leaders of the Cavalry Corps of the Kingdom of Crean transformed into vanguards to deal with obstacles such as spurs, pits, swamps, and lakes ahead.
Although some things are indeed quite troublesome, they are still the cavalry regiment of the Kingdom of Crean.
——Have the high-end power of a great knight!
Under the influence of the power of the great knight, although the consumption is a little high, the journey is still relatively smooth.
However, when they thought it would continue smoothly like this, they suddenly received a message from the soldiers in the rear:
"Report! The road in the middle of the army suddenly collapsed!!"
< br>“What!!”
When the top brass of the cavalry regiment turned around and walked to the middle of the army, they didn't know when a super-sized pit appeared here.
The bottom of the giant pit is covered with dense sharp rock spikes. Many soldiers and war horses were seriously injured by these spikes, and some unlucky ones even lost their lives directly.
——They have already begun to reduce their numbers before they even engage the enemy!
After learning this fact, the senior officials of the legion were very angry, but at the same time, they were a little confused.
——Why was this trap only triggered when the army was halfway there?
A great knight observed carefully and sighed:
“There are traces of magic power condensed here. I think it should be some kind of delay or trigger spell trap.
This kind of deep It is difficult for us to discover the magic traps buried underground. We lack a mage who can defeat the opponent's methods!"
...
At noon, the 6th Infantry Regiment, which was marching day and night, returned to the barbarian army! Elephant City.
While the soldiers were seizing the time to rest, Anthony sat in the camp of Barbarian Elephant City, his mouth twitching as he put down the "Consumption List" handed to him by Brand.
While marching along the way, he also knew that Brand used a lot of spell scrolls to set up various troublesome obstacles for the enemy.
But when he actually got the consumption list of the spell scroll, he realized that it was really a "huge consumption".
——He just hoped that people in the finance department wouldn’t faint when they saw this list!
After signing his name on the list, Anthony handed the list back to Brand. Last night, he had a good chat with Count Mesa and the Imperial Military Affairs Department.
Due to the increase in troops from the orcs, the knights and mages directly under the imperial royal family are now confronting the orc army in the north.
So those who came to support the Sixth Infantry Regiment this time were all ordinary regiments that were not far different from the Sixth Infantry Regiment.
These legions are okay against the ordinary legions of the Kingdom of Crean, but if the Kingdom of Crean sends the main legions or the forces of the Caesar Empire to enter, their strength will be somewhat insufficient.
In addition, the "Prince Liuyue" they captured was also a key figure in this incident.
It is necessary for the Kaya Empire to ensure that it is always under its control.
Based on the above reasons, the Imperial Military Affairs Department approved the admission requests of the Holland and Mesa families.
The pioneering war is coming, and in the north, the Kaya Empire will not relax at all!
Under this background, the participation of the private armed forces of several families in the war will indeed help solve the problem of insufficient troops.
As for the "consumption and loss" in each.
No matter how high the consumption is, as long as we win, the Kingdom of Crean and the Empire of Caesar will foot the bill!
After various thoughts flashed through his mind, Anthony smiled at Brand and said:
"If there is anything else you can tell me, it seems you have something on your mind."
< br>Brand came to see Anthony this time because he really had something to discuss with him.
He said:
"After the Cavalry Legion of the Kingdom of Crean discovers that the marching speed is slow, it is very likely that a high-end force like the Great Knight will abandon the legion and rush towards us directly."
After a slight pause, Brand continued:
“According to intelligence, there should be more than three great knights of the Kingdom of Crean entering the chaotic zone this time.
Assume that these great knights are chasing us in the cavalry regiment of the Kingdom of Crean. , if only one can ensure that their legion can march normally, then we will most likely face more than two knights."
Listening to Brand talking about this, Anthony's interest was also attracted. Hooked up, he asked:
"What do you want to do to these two or more great knights?"
Brand spread his hands and said:
"Whether they come alone or with the army, they There is a high probability that they will face us, so of course we have to find a way to take action."
Although this is indeed the case, Anthony is still a little helpless:
"I really want to take action. They, but I really can't think of any good way.
Currently, the commanders under me are taking the time to let the recruits learn the secret skills of the legion, but you must know that it still takes some time to learn the secret skills of the legion. "
After thinking about it, Anthony said again:
"Now, because there are more people who can use the legion's secret skills than before, the strength I can exert is also stronger than before. .
If I use the legion's secret skills at full strength, I should be able to contain the power of the two great knights, but if the other party comes directly with three, then I have no choice. "
Brand said: "If only three people come, we can still deal with it, but if there is a fourth person, I will have to leave with them. ”
Hearing this, Anthony became a little curious:
“Do you have any way to deal with the power of the great knight?”
At this point, Brand took out a volume of single material from the space necklace. The outer material of the spell scroll is extremely extraordinary.
When Brand unfolded it, what was printed on the spell scroll was a "black particle" with countless twisted lines, like a black hole.
Brand explained in due course: "This is a branch of the magic force field - the wind element magic force field!"
